Manchurian Candidate

Is this guy the perfect Manchurian candidate or what ? You know who I am talking about. Comes out of almost nowhere, with hardly any executive experience and limited legistlative experience. Has ties to an interesting cast of characters both from a social and "spiritual" perspective and has yet managed to be "above" the fray if you will thanks to a press that cannot get enough of him. The whole experience reminds one of that Hollywood movie called the Truman show. Maybe Hollywood is trying to pull off one in real life, except that this is no Truman but the leader of the free world.
